Put a few cylinders of .38 and .357 through it the other day...this one was made for me.

“ I don’t get the war belt thing”
It’s probably because he shoots three gun or USPSA…
"war belts" are fine, so long as you dont go crazy loading them up with shit that should be on a vest or chest rig.
sidearm, medkit, 1 pistol reload, 1 rifle reload is the max you should run on a belt, IMO.
leg-straps?....fucking useless.....with a stiff belt and a safariland drop, that holster isnt flopping around.
the holster drops?...personally i like them when running a plate carrier....
Man I wish theyd do Scorpion Evo in 7.5FK! I been seriously considering grabbing up a CMMG Banshee 10mm and throwing a 9x25 Dillon barrel on it. 7.5FK or 9x25 Dillon would be the ultimate PDW rounds IMO... pretty much .30 Carbine performance in a shorter barrel.I've got one and the 9mm conversion barrel. Had issues with the S95 jacketed hollow point ammo and F5 ammo, earlier manufactured stuff. Primers were on the harder side and had about a 25% failure rate with them. They all fires on the 2nd strike except for a handful that took 3 strikes. I've had 0 issues with newly manufactured ammo, which was provided by FK as a replacement for the bad batch of ammo I had been sold. They've fixed the ammo issues as far as I've experienced and others experienced.
The 7.5FK F5 ammo is a pretty heavy hitter and at 40yds put craters in a 3/8" steel target. For reference, M855 makes a similar crater at 100yds from my 18" AUG.
Put a Trijicon RMO6 3.25 on it and zeroed at 25yds per FK instruction book and it shot a little high an left at 100yds. I am not a spectacular pistol shooter, kinda meh but not terrible and at 100yds I can make hits 50/50 on a 2/3 sillouhette unsupported. The trigger is comparable to something like the geissle G2S trigger, a decent 2 stage, nice break and a shorter reset than I had on my CZ 75B. The grip does not really feel oversized either, pretty decent.
The 9mm conversion is hilarious, federal HST 124 +p is so little recoil it's ridiculous. I can run a plate rack faster with 124 +p in the FK than I could with a mild 115 load out of my 75B.
Here's the bad,
The gun needs cleaned pretty frequently, mostly for reliability with the 9mm conversion. As it gets dusty and dirty on dry windy days it will fail to lock back on last round and start stove piping. Replacing the tungsten weight with a lighter place holder would probably help with that a little bit. I weighed the slide on a freon scale accurate to .5oz and the FK slide and weight are almost heavier than the bolt and recoil rod/spring in a CZ scorpion Evo.
The 7.5FK ammo is $1.50/rnd. I guess you could argue that it is essentially "match grade" or "high performance" ammo not unlike rifle ammo. If you compare it to a similar 300 black out round, it's not entirely out of line for either a reliable 95 grain jacketed hp (S95) or 95 grain solid copper HP (F5). And the F5 round IS comparable to a 8" 300 blackout shooting super sonic ammo in the 100-110 grain class.
The older 7.5FK ammo is unreliable, but so far the new stuff is spot on and performs as you'd expect 1.50/rnd ammo to perform.
Aftermarket is still lacking. The best place I've seen for holsters for the gun is from Falco. Haven't seen any other holsters that I've been happy with yet.
I've enjoyed the gun immensely and think it's worth the price of admission personally. There is also a 10mm auto/40S&W conversion. I don't have it but plan to as soon as it's in stock.
What loads you running in the 9x23? Its a fckn amazing pistol roundDW Valor with all the parts torn out, rebarreled to 9x23, all new internals, Bar Sto barrel, roll trigger, DLC finish.

I don't think the Evo frame will handle 7.5fk personally, a blowback subgun in 7.5fk would need such a heavy bolt and spring that it would be impractical IMO. The Sig MPX would probably be a better option being a piston operated subgun.Man I wish theyd do Scorpion Evo in 7.5FK!

Funny you should mention that. I don't know shit about 3 gun.
But I know quite a bit about USPSA, being both a competitor and a Range Officer. 99% of the war belts I've seen are not legal in USPSA starting with the stupid leg strap, then with the holster that's way too low, and ending with way too much lateral offset on the holster.
But other than that, they're swell. For those who like to play Army dress-up.
You sir have a predisposition to make poors feel envy.
What are you overcompensating for?
Only takes one 1911 to correct for small penis.
53 years old.....son is graduating this semester with his masters...job offer in hand.....no college debt.
Drive a 5 year old Tacoma that I hope to drive for many more years.
Don't drink, don't smoke......pretty boring dude....just work crazy long hours and recover on my days off.
Guns are my only vice. Mainly handguns....those I can enjoy at the nearby indoor range.
You'd likely laugh at what I'm going to be using on the rifle ranges. Budget was cut there, fo sure.
Hoping to resume hunting this season.....and then in the offseason have some fun at the rifle ranges seeing if I can hit steel at distances you guys do with ease.....but for me they are foreign distances. I'm used to hunting shots of 200 yards or less...usually way less.
Looking forward to long range lobbing range fun after deer season ends.
I have so much to learn that it's not even funny. The challenge will be fun.....especially as I'll be rolling my own loads.
I found W231/HP-38 to be an all around forgiving powder that meters perfect in a Dillon.
I run it in 148 hbwc for my 52-2, which also run in my .38/.357, it runs in 9mm and .45ACP.
Dirty as fuck but one can for all.
Best 25 yard, 5 shot group I’ve ever done. View attachment 7851388
Nope, standing 2 handed shooting.Please tell me that was from a Ransom Rest.
That is some super tight shooting
Nope, standing 2 handed shooting.
Couldn’t pull that off on demand though. Total (happy) fluke.
Uh, no. Such people would be laughed off the range at a real competition.“ I don’t get the war belt thing”

Top right corner: High Standard 9-shot .22 revolver! I had one of the newer versions, the HS Camp Gun in .22 Mag. Dollar-for-dollar, probably the best-shooting revolver I’ve ever owned. The thing was as accurate as the day is long and it had an amazing single-action trigger pull - crisp, almost no over-travel. I loved that thing!

For better or worse, my younger son liked the thing about as much as I did. Kept asking me to sell it to him, or at least leave it to him in my will. Finally, some years back, after he’d had it ‘borrowed’ for quite some time, he had asked if I needed it back. I simply told him to keep it! Christmas had come early for him that year!

I started competing in USPSA at your age. I would encourage you to give it an honest try.
It's a shitload more fun than blasting at the indoor range and, if you approach the sport the right way, it will drive your handgun skills to levels you never thought you could achieve.
